First the paramter of the Frog function should be named tongueLength this parameter only exists inside the frog function so in your case you only got a class variable named TongueLength and a function parameter named the same. So in context there isn´t a variable tongueLength because you didn´t declared it. tongueLength =! TongueLength :) 

public Frog(int tongueLength)
        {
             TongueLength = tongueLength;
        }
